Collapsed crypto exchange FTX Trading Ltd. said it will begin a new round of creditor payments on March 31, 2026, as part of its Chapter 11 restructuring process.

Earlier in 2025, the company began returning funds under the plan, starting with a $7 billion payout in February. A second distribution of about $5 billion followed in May. Recoveries were expected to range between 54% and 120%, with payments made through providers such as BitGo and Kraken.

General unsecured and digital asset loan claims will each receive 15%, also reaching full recovery. Convenience claims will total 120% in cumulative distributions.

Preferred Shareholders Scheduled for May Payment

FTX said customers who onboarded with a distribution provider have “irrevocably elected to forego” direct cash payments. Distributions are instead sent to the selected provider.

The company said issues related to fund availability should be directed to the provider. FTX also set a timeline for preferred shareholders. An April 30, 2026 record date has been scheduled for a May 29, 2026 payment.

Creditors must complete several steps to qualify for future distributions, including logging into the claims portal, completing identity verification, submitting tax forms, and onboarding with an approved provider.
